If you are from Woodbridge and need a cartilage piercing, this is the place to go. However, if you…read moreare able to make the trek to downtown Toronto, I would advise you to do so. I got all my cartilage piercings done here (a total of 4) and belly button piercing. The first time was when I got my double helix done. I was charged $110+tax, then waited a few minutes for the piercer, was marked by her, reviewed her suggested piercing area, and after approval, got my piercings. Pain level for the first wasn't bad. You get that very distinct and memorable ear POP sound. The second consecutive piercing was a lot more painful than the first since blood was already rushed to the ear from the first piercing. I didn't have a cell phone at the time so I put my best friend's as my contact info. The first time went well. They seem to be a family run business and the women there kept calling me "bella". It was a time where you would be able to get a discount if you told them the verbal "code" they revealed on facebook. The second time I came over was a year later to get my rook done and it was seamless and honestly the most painless piercing I've ever had done. I remember paying $55 for this at the time, which is a fairly reasonable rate when compared to the closest piercing/tattoo studio in Woodbridge that charged almost double for a single piercing. Compared to Toronto prices, this fee was just slightly higher at that time, but I came here because I was in the area with my friends. The third time I arrived was for my belly button piercing. This time my piercing healed very poorly and scarred (I still have the scar). My body rejected the piercing within 3 weeks of having it pierced. The same thing happened to my friend who got hers pierced at the same time, so it's hard to think it was a coincidence. If I remember correctly, the belly piercing was somewhere $65 to $80 + tax. My friend eventually came back half a year later to get hers repierced and her body again rejected the piercing within 3 weeks. I would advise to go elsewhere if you want a belly piercing...I also noticed they never changed my contact info after giving them my cell number when I got my rook done. The fourth time I arrived was for my daith. When I asked for it at the counter, the piercer didn't know which piercing I was talking about and had to google it (this should have been a red flag). She had trouble piercing me with a straight needle (generally, since a daith is so internal, you need a curved needle). The needle was in my ear for a good 2 minutes before she was able to get the jewelry in. I loved this piercing, but she pierced it too outwards and my body rejected it within 3 weeks again. I was very disappointed. When I accompanied my friend to a reputable tattoo/piercing shop downtown, that was when I met people with over 10+ years' experience dedicated to the art, and who actually knew what a daith piercing was. Their aftercare instructions were also a lot more thorough than "don't touch it and soak it in sea salt". Overall, I have a mixed opinion on Planet Silver. Definitely great for regular helix piercings, but I'd go elsewhere for more complex cartilage piercings and belly button piercings.

Ben and his team are insanely good. I've seen Ben grow from when he started out to where he is now…read moreand his work ethic, art and knowledge is insane. This spot at yonge and sheppard is convenient, clean and a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. I feel super comfortable here, even when it's filled with people, there is still a lot of space for me. Ben only hires strong artists - even his junior artists are great. Isabel did a huge peony piece on my thigh and after it truly looks like it was done by someone with 5x more experience than she had. It was quick (literally outline, colour and shading in 2h), comfortable and although painful, she made sure I was feeling ok the entire time. Isabel's portfolio is actually super cute - I think she definitely needs to set a neo-traditional niche because her thick linework is clean without blowouts which is hard to achieve. She is definitely going far in this field. Ben has also tattooed me and he is very light-handed so it barely hurt at all. Also his realism pieces are actually insane - give him 10 years, he is definitely going to be famous in this game. My friend has also gotten pierced here and the piercer Taylor was so so so experienced, clean and definitely knew what she was doing. I've heard her talk to all sorts of clients and you can tell she's been piercing for awhile. (which is a green flag). She's dope AF too. I'm definitely coming back! Have you seen their flash work on their walls and IG?! That stuff is insane. I definitely need all of them on my body, now. Vibes are just immaculate here - if you need a place to get your first tattoo, I don't recommend going to pacific mall....bring your butt over here instead. Remember that good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good :)

Once you "schedule" your appointment, they will send another email with a link for a deposit that must be made within 24 hours to hold and secure your appointment date and time. This is a $50 deposit towards your final total. We arrived at the Parlour and were advised that there is only street parking, so be prepared. Our appointment was with James for a second earlobe piercing for my daughter. Please pay attention to their website as they require a birth certificate if your child and the consenting parents ID, too. My daughter and I both signed consent forms and then he took us upstairs to look at jewelry. They have a wide and beautiful selection. He was very patient and informative with my daughter for her to choose what she wanted. She chose beautiful champagne colored studs He then advised us that he needs to sanitize and prep his station and the jewelry so it would be about 10 minutes. My daughter and I went back downstairs and waited a bit. After he was finished, he took us to his room and explained the process in detail to my daughter all along the way. He marked my daughter's ears and then measured her ear lobes and showed her where the earrings would be placed. Everything was sterilized and each needle is only used once and then disposed of properly. My daughter did have anxiety but didn't really show it, especially after the first ear lobe was done. James advised her how to breathe each time he would pierce her ear and she followed his directions. Again, he was very patient and professional. He gave her after care instructions and a cleanser. Since we are only visiting from Vegas, he told us to send an email about any follow ups regarding the posts in her ears if we wanted them shorter after they healed. He said he would reach out to his contacts in Vegas to help with this when the time comes. We were both very happy with the experience and my daughter was ecstatic with her new piercing. She had a previous gun piercing (my bad, I know now), so this was a much better experience. I highly recommend the Parlour.

We had such a wonderful experience getting my daughter's ears pierced here. The studio requires…read moreappointments and keeps the doors locked, which actually made the whole experience feel very special and intentional rather than rushed or chaotic like some retail environments can be. It really felt like this was an occasion just for her. My daughter was pretty nervous going in, but James was absolutely fantastic with her. He was calm, patient, and took the time to talk her through everything, which really helped soothe her nerves. By the time it was done, she felt proud and excited rather than scared. The entire service was phenomenal from start to finish. James was professional, kind, and clearly cared about making it a positive experience. The Parlour itself is also really cool; clean, welcoming, and full of personality. I honestly wish every retail or service experience I had was handled with this level of care and thoughtfulness. It made a moment my daughter was nervous about turn into a really special memory for both of us.

My experience wasn't that bad…read more Pros: - Chris, the tattoo artist, seemed very knowledgeable: I asked him questions about caring for my piercings (which I didn't get at this store) and his advice was helpful - He also claimed to be a perfectionist which, my my standards, is amazing. The last thing I'd like is a half-assed tattoo because my artist didn't give a crap. - If anything occurred, Alex said that I could touch up my tattoo within the next year (free of charge). Cons: - I could have probably gotten my tattoo for a lot cheaper if I shopped around (my friend told me that his tattoo artist charges half of what I paid here). Overall, I'd say that I was pretty satisfied with the service I got. The girl at the front desk was helpful & nice (not this "Rodney" character that the last two reviews mentioned- maybe I was lucky & stopped by at a good time). I think getting a tattoo is a very personal thing and your experience really depends on the people that are serving you.

Be warned. I do not find it fair to critique or criticize the skill of the artists (since there…read morehas been lots of turnover), but the service and treatment given by this shop's owner is shameful at best. We have visited this shop several times over the years, and have noticed the constant disarray of management. The associate attending the "front desk"--if you can call it that--was always the owner's son, who is constantly spoken down to by his father, Rodney. Potential walk-in cients asking general questions are responded with degredation and attitude if they are unlucky enough to be asking such questions to the owner. If we hadn't been lucky to get an amazing and courteous artist the first time we visted (Nelson), I probably would have never gone back. My wife and I walked in to get a consult about a cover up on my wife's hand. Nelson, the artist we wanted was busy with appointments. The shop owner, Rodney, noticed us and said he could do the tattoo that very night. We weren't expecting to get the tattoo right away, but him being the shop owner and lead artist, we thought we were lucky for this opportunity. What we got was a nightmare full of harassment instead. To keep this from getting far too descriptive and out of hand, we weren't happy with the cover up done by Rodney. My wife's hand was scarred because Rodney decided to christen his new rotary tattoo machine on my wife. The outline he did with the machine left a raised scar. The design was all swollen and didn't look quite right, but we were told to let it heal. We were offered the customary free touch up should there be issues with the tattoo healing. When we returned to the shop the week after, the owner refused to touch up the tattoo. Instead, his response to our dissatisfaction with his work was to insult my wife in front of other clients, and call her horrible names that I will not mention here. That was our last visit to the shop. One may think that this may have been an extraordinary case, but our previous observations at the shop should have clued us in to an experience like this. To whoever is reading this review and is considering getting a tattoo here, be warned.
